This 2/3-bedroom semi-detached cottage on Beccles Road balances character living with practical essentials. The house offers two principal bedrooms upstairs, a flexible ground-floor snug that can serve as a third bedroom or home office, a lounge, kitchen and a shower room with separate WC. Gas central heating and uPVC double glazing are already fitted, helping keep running costs down.
The plot is a standout: a very large garden with a sunken patio, garden shed and off-street parking across the front lawn. The location suits buyers who want easy access to local schools, James Paget Hospital, Gorleston seafront and nearby woodlands and marinas — all within a short drive. Transport links include Haddiscoe station for services to Norwich and Lowestoft.
There are a few practical issues to note. The kitchen shows dated mid-20th-century fittings and signs of wear and would benefit from modernization. Part of the property’s exterior description and some internal glazing notes are inconsistent; buyers should verify specifics at viewing. Only one full bathroom serves the home, which may influence families seeking more facilities.
Overall this freehold home is a sensible choice for families or buyers seeking a spacious plot with renovation potential and good local amenities. The combination of off-street parking, gas heating, low local crime and fast broadband make it practical for everyday living while the large garden offers scope for improvement or extension (subject to planning).
